“Just do an Internet search.” “It’s on the Internet” These phrases have quickly become a part of the vernacular. The quintessential book of data relating to water, The Water Encyclopedia: Hydrologic Data and Internet Resources, Third Edition arose from the premise that most of the information provided within this publication could be easily found on the Internet. As the editors and their team of contributors soon discovered, using the Internet for research can be problematic. Too much, too little, and questionable data sets can influence the caliber of your results.The new edition contains more than 1100 tables and 500 figures providing data related to weather, surface water, ground water, water use, water quality, waste water, pollution, and water resource management. The first two chapters are completely new and discuss data management and international data collection. The pollution chapter has grown to contain some 450 plus tables and figures. Wastewater, previously included within the pollution chapter, is presented as a new standalone chapter. Whether you are looking for a specific piece of information or exploring many topics, this edition is a portal to quality facts and data sets. Retaining the elements that made the previous editions bestsellers, the third edition elucidates the many changes within the environmental industry and in water-related issues during the last decade. Prepared by scientists and engineers, the book has been significantly expanded beyond the scope of the second edition. Reflecting changes not only in information but also technology, whenever possible, the text includes an Internet address that guides you to the appropriate source.

This book explores the spatial and contextual factors behind citizens' anger, frustration, and sense of abandonment, alongside the role of digital platforms in politically marginalized areas. It shifts the focus from voting geography to the geography of discontent, offering a new perspective on digital inequalities. The study addresses the complexities of "left-behind" places, recognizing that patterns of decline in developed countries differ from those in developing nations, where political and cultural dynamics play a key role.Using Chile’s Valparaíso region as a case study, the book applies its framework to a context characterized by a strong party system, robust institutions, and high Internet penetration. Chile’s recent political crisis, marked by widespread dissatisfaction, makes this analysis particularly relevant. Valparaíso, with its unique role as the host of the National Congress and as a focal point of the 2019 social uprising, serves as a microcosm for understanding the spatial dimensions of political discontent in digitally connected societies.
Verlassene Orte im digitalen Zeitalter

Dieses Buch untersucht die räumlichen und kontextuellen Faktoren hinter persönlichen Empfindungen wie Ärger, der Frustration und dem Gefühl der Vernachlässigung von Bürgerinnen und Bürgern sowie die Rolle digitaler Plattformen in politisch marginalisierten Gebieten. Es verlagert den Fokus von der Geografie des Wahlverhaltens hin zur Geografie der Unzufriedenheit und bietet eine neue Perspektive auf digitale Ungleichheiten. Die Studie beleuchtet die Komplexität „zurückgelassener“ Orte und erkennt an, dass Muster des Niedergangs in Industrieländern sich von denen in Entwicklungsländern unterscheiden, wo politische und kulturelle Dynamiken eine zentrale Rolle spielen.Anhand der Region Valparaíso in Chile als Fallstudie wendet das Buch seinen Analyseansatz auf einen Kontext mit einem starken Parteiensystem, robusten Institutionen und hoher Internetdurchdringung an. Die jüngste politische Krise in Chile, geprägt von weit verbreiteter Unzufriedenheit, macht diese Analyse besonders relevant. Valparaíso, das sowohl Sitz des Nationalkongresses als auch ein zentraler Schauplatz des sozialen Aufstands von 2019 ist, dient als Mikrokosmos für das Verständnis der räumlichen Dimensionen politischer Unzufriedenheit in digital vernetzten Gesellschaften.
